Really, what's so bad about an epoch? It works. It's invented to fix SNAFU's like this one. Personally, I _very_ much prefer a clean epoch over a silly version number such as 1.3.8.2.1.really.1.3.8.0.1.though.I.mean.something.else-1 -- The amount of time between slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is precisely one bananosecond -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
